Xia Ruya Gets the Runs

Although Xia Ruya's cold was just getting better, it took a turn for the worse again. Not only did she develop a fever, but she also began coughing violently too. In the middle of the night, her fever finally dissipated and so did her headache. However, she got diarrhea soon after, causing her to become weak and dehydrated. By the time the doctor arrived, Xia Ruya had already turned as pale as a ghost. Her veins were also visible on her haggard face.

Xia Ruya lied down in bed with her long locks draped across the pillow messily. Some of her baby hairs had also stuck onto her face due to her sweat. The glow in her watery eyes seemed to have vanished, causing them to become dull and lifeless. Her beautiful, pink lips had now become dry and pale. She trembled continuously, too weak to even speak.
